“confess with me

your inner most thoughts,

your deepest desires,

your darkest secrets,

your most desperate longings,

for I shall not judge thee,

but embrace thee!”

How well do you know yourself?

Long ago, I realized that I have protected myself.

Built a certain type of armor if you will.

One that keeps me safe.

Or so I thought.

You see, sometimes the armor we build

is a response to feeling unsafe,

whether due to childhood traumas, or school bullies, or later in life in the workspace.

But, when we move on

and the armor still remains, that's where our work lies.

What does armor look like?

Sometimes it's a pattern or habit that we adopted early

on that no longer serves.

For instance, someone who is the "helper"-

in many cases; has learned that this behavior comes from

a strong feeling of "not enough-ness"...

Are you an "over-giver?"

Maybe that stems from a need to people please...

In other cases, there is the one who is the leader

and has to be first in everything.

I don't want to over-simplify, because it's not

a black or white situation;

but sometimes the armor we build,

has a strong outer shell that is not easy to penetrate.

Many of us don't want to show our vulnerable side

(or expose the soft underbelly)

I see it ALL the time with many of my clients.

They have closed off their hearts which prevent meaningful relationships,

they micromanage everything for a seeming sense of control,

they sabotage their own health...

This week, I ask you to sit quietly and tune inward.

What does your armor look like?

As you view this, be ever so gentle with yourself.

Sometimes these patterns or habits formed as a result

of protection...

and ask:

"How is this pattern serving me?"

(only you know the true answer)

 This weeks Journal prompts:

"Where am I sabotaging myself?"

"How can I gently release these blocks?"

"What do I truly want out of life?"

✨✨✨

Wishing you a magical week filled

with love, peace and joy!
